Objective

/ My objective is to use all of my skills to the best of my ability in order to fully succeed at my job/career. If there are skills that I need to learn in order to my job, I will commit time to learn those skills. My goals at this point are to obtain a BM in Music Education, and obtain a position as a secondary level band director. I wish to gain teaching experience before obtaining a Master’s Degree in Music Education, or another music related field of study.

Interests

/ I have studied and performed piano and saxophone for over eight years. In high school, I was also a student leader and drum major for the marching band. During that time, I enjoyed working with others and teaching them the skills that they needed to perform. Translating that to college, I now enjoy helping my classmates understand their schoolwork even though I am not a paid tutor. Since I am an education major, I enjoy helping others succeed in a new area by providing the help or encouragement that they need.
